001: Starrcade 1997

from Because WCW

Why has professional wrestling been in a mind-numbing monopoly for 16 years and counting? Because WCW. Why is a 350 pound man tripping up and falling through a wall the greatest thing the industry has ever seen? Because WCW. And why is there now a podcast series dedicated to the vast quantities of incomprehensible idiocy that one single company managed to unleash upon wrestling within the span of a decade? Because WCW. In the very first episode looking at the legacy of World Championship Wrestling, Dean Ayass and Liam Happe start with the high point of the company timeline. Their finest hour. Their biggest ever show. Their hottest ever main event. And the night they showed why they would lose the Monday Night Wars. NOTE: Our audio quality improved after the first six episodes, but we are perfectly audible in this one nonetheless. Please hang in there!

Shut Up I Love It Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello Many years ago, Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello met in line for an improv show. They were young, dumb, and full of it. What followed were comedy shows so explicit, “genitalia” was practically a term of endearment.Fast forward 5 dogs, 6 cats, and way too many weird inside jokes later, Sasha and Joe are no longer young or dumb—but they’re still brimming with you-know-what. Here, they’ve teamed up to bring you a podcast where they interview a guest who passionately defends something universally hated, misunderstood, forgotten, overlooked, Mandela-effected, canceled—you name it. The key? They LOVE it. From toupees... to B-movies... to aliens, psychedelics, and the occasional surprise character, Sasha and Joe are here to spread love to the world that birthed them (but maybe should’ve used protection).So come and get that love because no one else will give it to you like we do.Also, don’t forget to check out the Patreon Bonus version of the show:https://www.patreon.com/c/ShutUpILoveItP Explicit So...How Was Your Day? So How Was Your Day Are you tired of all the arguing? Completely over nasty generational clashes? Ready for rational conversation, warm jokes, and laughter? So are we. Follow along with mother/son duo Tana (Gen X) and Malcolm (Gen Z) as we discuss everything from awful customer stories to what's next in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - and do it with a smile. (I mean, you won't be able to see us, because this is just an audio podcast, but...trust us. We're smiling. Mostly.) Explicit
